Concubine Wen Xi in Qing Dynasty

Chapter 39 Minor Punishments and Lesser Commandments

In just one month, the Qing army besieged the Russian army in Yaksa, making the outcome of the Battle of Yaksa increasingly clear.Kangxi was in the happiest mood when he finished processing the military reports sent back from the front line, so he saw Wang Taiyi come in to ask for an opinion, and told Yinzuo that he had first seen signs of strain in his muscles and bones.During this period of time, he was busy dealing with the front-line warfare, and he never asked the younger sons about their homework except for instructing the elder son to instruct the younger sons in archery. At first, Kangxi himself was a little surprised.

"Go and call Dachun to me." Kangxi ordered Li Dequan who was beside him after dismissing the imperial doctor Wang.

Dachun is the master who taught Yinzuo riding and archery. He looks simple and honest, but in fact he is Batulu, who was praised by Kangxi himself. He is proficient in horseback riding, archery and hunting. Because of his military exploits, Kangxi arranged for him to be Yinxuan's master.After being summoned, Dachun probably understood what was going on. The elder brother acted recklessly and did not listen to advice. Now it is their slaves who are suffering.

Hearing Kangxi's question, Dachun maintained his simple and honest face, and replied: "Since the emperor ordered the elder brother to instruct the younger brothers in archery, the elder brother will not allow the servants to interfere with the younger brother's affairs." First of all, I put aside my own relationship, "It wasn't until yesterday that the elder brother got married and couldn't come to guide the brothers, that the slave knew that the elder brother changed a bow for the sixth elder brother. The bow was made of the most solid and heavy wood. , the sixth elder brother's current arm strength is simply not suitable for use."

"Since you know that the bow is not suitable for Yinxuan, why didn't you report it to me immediately?" Kangxi was not such a fool, his eyes were fixed on Dachun's head, even if he was kneeling on the ground, Dachun could still feel that The sight that penetrates the heart.

"Yesterday was a good day for Eldest Brother, and this servant dare not disturb the good mood of the Emperor." Dachun said, "What's more, Eldest Brother said that he was ordered by the Emperor to come to the school to guide, and this servant dare not disobey Eldest Brother. Brother means."

Kangxi remained silent for a long time, his originally straight back slowly bent down.After a long time, he said: "Go down."

Da Chun breathed a sigh of relief.

Kangxi suddenly felt very tired, no matter how complicated the court affairs were, he could handle them with ease, but his son's affairs gave him a headache.Although the boss choked on the prince before, he still apologized to the prince after all, leaving a good impression in front of the officials and making him feel that it was just an accident; but now?He bullied his younger brother with his oral instructions, and he didn't show any brotherly love.Kangxi was sure that Yinyi knew how much an inappropriate bow could hurt a child who was less than six years old, but he did it anyway.

"Li Dequan, pass on my decree, and reward Concubine Niu Hulu, Concubine Tong, Concubine Wen, Concubine Rong, and Concubine Yi each with a box of South Sea pearls." Kangxi said, "In addition, I will reward Concubine Niu Hulu with four pairs of jade Ruyi, eight pieces of jade. Shu brocade. Send the good horses and bows presented by Mongolia this year to the sixth elder brother, and order Yinyi not to come to the school to guide him again."

"The servant obeys the order." Li Dequan said.

"In addition, inform the Minister of the Ministry of War that there is no need to do what I ordered at the time." Kangxi looked at the booklet in his hand, "Order the Ministry of Internal Affairs to pack up the Gandong Seventh Office and prepare to welcome the eighth prince to move in. Promote Yan Zhu to the first-class guard , let A Ling A serve as the third-class bodyguard, and enter the palace to be on duty after ten days."

"Hey." Li Dequan bowed in response.

"Master," Nunnery Wanyan came in and whispered in An He's ear, "I have inquired about it, and I heard that the emperor has postponed his plan to send Eldest Brother to the Ministry of War."

"This is a good thing. With the big brother's temper, he might offend all the officials in the Ministry of War within a day after he went to the Ministry of War." An He slowly flipped through the books of his private treasury, "The box of Dongzhu given by the emperor, Let the people from the Ministry of Internal Affairs make me a few pairs of flower hairpins and hairpins to make them look better, and I have made an appointment with Concubine Rong, Concubine Yi and Concubine Wen to wear them together."

"The maidservant will give orders." Wanyan Sister smiled knowingly.Leaving aside the two noble concubines, among the four concubines, only Concubine Hui did not receive the reward, and it felt like a slap in the face when I thought about it.Hearing that Concubine Hui had lost her temper in Zhongcui Palace, she almost rushed to Elder Brother's office and scolded Elder Brother angrily. "It's just that the emperor's actions are not painful or itchy. Is the master going to let it go?"

"Does Mammy think I'm the one to compromise so easily?" An He wrote down all the things she liked on a piece of paper, "Brother let it out, Yan Zhu, Fu Bao and Yin De's official careers are just getting better. Not to mention Ah Ling, if there was no matter about Yinxuan, the emperor would not have promoted him to the third-class bodyguard so early. Although our Niu Hulu family has a strong foundation, I can't do it in the palace. It’s okay to use outside connections. Yin De’s wedding will be in one month, and when the time comes, Mammy will send a letter for me and ask Yan Zhu to send it to my brother.”

"Yes." Wanyan said with a slight smile.

She is a palace concubine, the eldest brother's nominal concubine, but she can't replace Concubine Hui to teach eldest brother, let alone instigate Yinxuan to fight against eldest brother.And the reason why the elder brother is so confident is nothing more than the influence of the Yiergenjueluo family after marrying his wife, and the support of Nalan Mingzhu behind him.She remembered that there was a censor Guo Xiu in history who impeached Mingzhu and his party members twice, and asked his brother if he knew this censor.

However, since A Ling'a has entered the palace as a bodyguard, he still has to remind his brother to be careful not to make mistakes. After all, A Ling'a is the only son of the Bayara family. If she made a mistake, as long as she made a wrong step, her brother's title would be lost.

After drawing up a congratulatory gift for Yin De's marriage, An He took the letter paper aside and began to write a letter to Faka.

After the prince gets married, he will usually leave the study to go to the court to do business. The elder brother was no exception, but Kangxi postponed such a plan, let the elder brother continue to study in the study, but asked the prince to come to the former court for three days in a row. The ministers explained the principles of etiquette and righteousness in the books, the meaning of which is self-evident.

"Look, big brother is staring at you." Prince Jian Yabu's son Yaerjiang bumped into Yinxuan's shoulder and said in a low voice, "It looks like he wants to eat you."

"The master is also looking at you with cannibalistic eyes. If you don't study hard, you will be punished for copying books again." There is no shaking, and it seems that there is no damage caused by excessive practice before.

In the study room are not only elder brothers from the palace, but also the legitimate sons of the Iron Hat Prince's family outside the palace are also sent into the palace to study with the elder brothers.Among the future generations, Yinzuo and Yaerjiang A play the best. In his opinion, although Yaerjiang A is about to be ten years old, he is actually like a child who has not grown up, awkward and proud .He likes others to fight with him, hates others' flattery, and he doesn't like people who bully others.

"It's just for your own good." Yaerjiang Ati Yinxuan glared back at Yinxuan, then bowed his head and continued to practice calligraphy.

Yinxuan raised his eyes and looked at Yinfei after Yaerjiang's head was buried in writing. Under Yinfeng's increasingly dissatisfied gaze, he slightly raised the corners of his mouth and returned a cute smile.Concubine Hui is now being ridiculed in the harem, and the eldest brother's errand has also been put on hold, and everything is the eldest brother's own fault.

While Yinxuan and Yinxuan were fighting with each other in the study, An He finally fulfilled the agreement with Concubine Rong, Concubine Yi and Concubine Wen to wear the newly made jewelry together on the day of greeting the Empress Dowager .

On An He's hair bun were two golden jade hairpins with pearl tassels, sitting beside her was a pair of phoenix pendant hairpins, and on Concubine Wen's head was a silver-gilt hairpin inlaid with pearls. There are a few purple silk flowers on the hairpin, and on Concubine Rong's bun is an exquisite pearl and jasper bow. They are all made of South Sea pearls rewarded by Kangxi. They were prepared and sent to various palaces yesterday. Today everyone wears them together. Out.

Concubine De took a look at Concubine Hui who had an ugly face, and the corners of her mouth almost couldn't help but curl up.Afraid that she would offend Concubine Hui, she hurriedly took the handkerchief and pretended to wipe off the sweat on the tip of her nose, but in fact it was to hide the smile on her lips, and she exchanged glances with the concubine Cheng, both of whom could see the eyes of each other. Can't hide the meaning of "waiting to see the good show".

The empress dowager did not express any opinion on the undercurrents, and even turned a blind eye to the demonstration-like actions of An He and others.

Concubine Hui smiled gently and said to An He while twisting her handkerchief: "Brother Ten's birthday is coming up, I got a new observation mirror from my place, I will send it to Brother Ten later. .”

"Thank you Concubine Hui for your kindness. It's just that the emperor said that you can't be arrogant and indulge Yin'e anymore, so as not to develop his temperament of playing with things and losing his ambition." An He took a sip of hot tea and said with a smile, "Besides, when Yinzhe was in Jiangning, he also gave Yinye Yin'er bought a small telescope, so he doesn't need another new one."

"Really? Then forget it." Concubine Hui intends to repair the relationship with An He, but An He's overtures to her are helpless. Concubine Hui, who has been in the harem for many years, also puts down this idea. But in my heart I can't help complaining about An He's ignorance of flattery.But she didn't think about it herself, if her son was made things difficult like this, she would definitely be more furious than An He.

An He doesn't care what Concubine Hui thinks, she is completely against Concubine Hui now.The letter that Yin De handed over when he and Jue Luo were married a while ago has already received an answer. That Guo Xiu and Guo Yushi are indeed a man of integrity. From the news that came back, we can know that he has actually secretly collected important information from the Mingzhu Party. The crimes of member Furren.

Since Guo Xiu had already taken this action, An He simply sat on the mountain and watched the tigers fight.Faka is becoming more and more cautious now, and the officials he interacts with are checking carefully, in order not to get involved in the dispute between the Mingzhu and Suo'etu factions.Even if Bayara was impatient, it was useless, the title on Faka's head was still secure, she could only tell A Ling'a to act cautiously in the palace, and don't disobey Shangfeng's orders with the young master's temper.
